UPDATE: Spring Cleaning in Witness-Land :) All the witnesses I vote for are up to date and their machines are running!

If you use @fyrstikken as proxy-voter for witnesses, I am happy to announce that I have cleaned house and re-voted witnesses who are on the 0.18.1+ Fork.

This time I have focused on the bottom witnesses/backup witnesses bringing them up a bit and focused less on the top witnesses as they seem to take care of themselves ;)

What I value as important in a witness/backup-witness

• Updated on the last stable consensus fork
• Machine is running 24/7
• Location (currently not available information)

To be a truly de-centralised network it is important that witnesses are spread around the earth as much as possible. I have no way of finding out which witness is located where, but from what I have learned over the time I have been here, it looks good and we have witness-nodes in many countries.

So enjoy this platform, and remember - the witnesses run the network, and if you want to vote for my witness go to: https://steemit.com/~witnesses and vote for fyrst-witness or set fyrstikken as Proxy if you currently have not voted for any witnesses yet or just don´t want to deal with it.
